Protest Bush at Kirkwood in Cedar Rapids on Wednesday, March 30th
Junta
puppet George W. Bush is coming to speak at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids on Wednesday,
March 30, in Johnson Hall at 12:15 p.m. Loyal Americans who
believe in Social Security will be holding
a peaceful protest across from Johnson Hall. We will meet at the baseball diamond across from Johnson Hall at 10am. Please bring signs and lots of people!
Join us as we protest Bush's attack on America's retirement. This
protest includes the IDP, labor unions, the Hawkeye Labor Council, Linn
County Democrats, Kirkwood students and other groups. The
protest will be held at 66th Street and Kirkwood Blvd SE. Parking is
available on 66th St. and other side streets. Some signs will be
available.
However, if you'd like to ATTEND the event, tickets are available through Grassley's office in Cedar Rapids.
MEETING:
The puppet's “A Conversation on Strengthening Social Security” [read
DESTROYING it] is scheduled for 12:15 p.m. at Kirkwood Community
College.

According
to Alejandro Andreotti, the woman in Grassley's office said people can
just stop by and pick up a ticket. She also told him that they
distributed a number of them to Kiwanis and Rotary clubs throughout the
state.
Andreotti
writes: If you can go to the talk, get yourself a ticket. Don't
wear any donkeys on your shirt or other obvious signs of
progressivism. If you get in, don't scream a question. Be
respectful [even if you have to gag].
Be ready
with two questions: a softball (so as to appease the handlers), and a
real one. Try to make your story something the handlers might
pick up.
Grassley
came out [Sunday] voicing serious doubts about the privatization of
SS. If the tickets are actually going to Rotarians and Kiwanis,
Bush might not find such a receptive crowd in Iowa.
